No issues here at all, though turn off the annoying "window snap" feature if you play in windowed mode or you cant drag it up to the top!

DO EEET!
Unless you are already on vista which after all the service packs is pretty much a clone of 7. But if you are running XP upgrade now for gods sake and you will get your computers untapped performance back. The only issues I have heard with eve and 7 is if you install the 64bit version and that seems to be more a hardware driver issue than a fault of the eve client.

I've had better luck running while running two clients than I did on XP - it seems to manage resources a little better.
Beautiful, no complaints so far.
Besides, I kinda like the cut of your jib, sailor...

Perfectly.
The only problem I had was running it in windows mode. The top frame of the window kept bumping on-screen when I tried to place it off-screen, so I did not have to see the window frame while playing. But with some kind help from this community I solved it. ALl you had to do was going to the control panel, Ease of Access, "make it easier to focus on tasks", and put a hook on "prevent windows from being automatically arranged when moved to the edge of the screen". When I did all this the game where working just as flawless as always. Heck, maybe even better!
Although. Its quite expensive OS, but then M$ have always been greedy bastards

Win7 64 Bit on both my pc's. one is a top end quad core rig with a GTX 260 and 4 gigs of ram with an intel SSD hdd, other is a 2 year old single core rig with a 7950GT video card, 2 gigs of ram running on a Velociraptor hdd.
No problems on each. Keep your divers up to date, and you're fine. But that advice works with ALL PC's :)

Win7 64 bit. I occasionally get a kernel failure, followed by a mem dump and a reboot upon logging in. It's probably a driver thing, but it's never bothered me that much and once I'm in game it works fine.

Runs perfect.
I am a Mac user primarily, and was very happy when CCP first came out with the mac client, unfortunately I was never satisfied with the performance quite enough - so I just build a windows box for games only.
After upgrading to Windows7 I have nothing but pleasure. Still would not replace my os X though, but I would say Microsoft has done a tremendous job with 7, and for those who wish to stay with the PC, I would say upgrade ASAP.

Is there really something wrong with XP?
Last time I checked XP benchmarks were still higher then Vista, but I'm not so sure about 7.

XP doesn't have (native) DX10 or DX11, nor is 64bit as compatible with nearly as many programs.
(Don't even think about saying 64bit XP doesn't suck)

XP was a nice gaming os until 7 came out. Trust when I say that my machine that performed at what I thought was its max potential with xp literally tripled its overall performance after I installed 7. Games load much quicker and have no moar issues with background level load stuttering in cutscenes and everything else snaps up on screen when I start it. Like I said its not much of a difference when you already have vista but going from xp to 7 if you have a halfway modern machine is pure computing sex.

But then EVE is DX9 so that wont help EVE performance one bit. So this is only an issue if you have a game you play *today* that requires or benefits from DX10/11

Win 7 x64 here, works pretty well. I'm having some graphical stuttering issues, but I think it has more to do with hard drive caching and not defragging. Maybe I'll defrag tonight.

Not to mention virtually every XP is much less secure than Windows 7. Of course, this is MOSTLY because virtually every XP user stays logged in as an administrator. Any viruses or trojans that you get hit with automatically gain complete control of your computer.
Under Windows 7/Vista, UAC will require the virus/trojan to get explicit permission from the user before their code is executed (presuming that the virus/trojan doesn't use an exploit to bypass UAC, and that the user hasn't disabled UAC)
And let's not forget that Windows 7 will be actively maintained for many years now. Windows XP will fall off support, and future vulnerabilities will not be patched. People still running Windows XP will be powerless to secure their system, short of unplugging them from the Internet.
----------
There is always a choice. The choice might not be easy, nor simple, nor the options be what you desire - but, nevertheless, the choice is there to be made. |

Still haven't totally sorted out if it's my machine, my OS install, a bad card (ATI 4850 HD), or what, but I've found Eve windowed + Windows 7 with Aero is not good. I had to go into Catalyst Control Center and move it to the highest performance setting to get a steady framerate. I also found I could go back to Windows Classic theme and pick up about 20 fps, but seriously, who wants Windows 7 without the snazzy interface.

Windows 7 is like if XP and Vista had a baby, and that baby was perfect. Eve plays well on it. I haven't had any issues with that. I did have some issues upgrading and getting windows 7 stable, but I think that has more to do with my ancient hardware.

Me, if it noticeably reduces performance in any way. This is because the primary function of an operating system is to make the physical resources of the computer available to application programs, and NOT to consume them for itself.
This is why I never bothered with Vista. It had a memory footprint of about 4x that of XP, while not offering even 2x performance increase.

Wow? What did you install on Vista to make it take up 1 gig of RAM. Mine only takes about 512 on boot with 2GB of RAM...

Show how much you know about Vista. Yes, when it idles it usually takes up about 1-1.5 Gigs of RAM, but that's not something it holds exclusively. Vista has a lot of background processes that tidies up and streamlines stuff (like searching your files, opening large indexes, file transfers). It will also call dibs on an amount of RAM that it holds just in case you need it to do some heavy lifting. To a casual observer, this makes it seem like Vista fills up an absurd amount of RAM (anywhere between 1/5 to 1/3 of the total system RAM can be expected to be held by Vista), but in reality all these things run on a very low priority - meaning that Vista is more than happy to let that RAM go if, for example, a game needs it.
Just because Vista fills a Gig of RAM when it's idling doesn't mean that RAM is unavailable.

On windows 7 ultiamte 64-bit im sitting at about 1.2gigs use at idle(1.6gigs usually as i run BOINC) , eve runs beautifully on 7 with no problems whatsoever. The only problem in full screen mode is if your using 30bit color with 2 bit alpha and tab out the whole screen dims until you ctrl-alt-delete which resets it, which is mildly annoying.
Windows 7's aero interface is pretty slick and doesnt use up much resources at all, the whole point of having a nice operating system for your home comp is so it looks all guchi. Ofc if your a user who wants to stare at the horrible windows classic interface then by all means, do.
Now ccp give me direct x 11 and multithreading, *snaps whip*
Windows 7 is also pretty nice on its caching, loading all your most used stuff into the memory for you before you actually start it. So eve has very minimal startup time(and i dont have the cache on a ramdisk). Crysis is a bit sluggish to get up and running, but thats a special case and really does make the whole system sweat.
